We find ourselves coming up on week 17 of the Sewcialites Sew Along hosted by Fatquarter Shop and Kimberly Jolly. These are the two most recent blocks I have made, week 15 "Genuine", designed by Lori Holt, and week 16 "Friendship", designed by Carrie Nelson. I tell you, that block 16 had me reaching for […]
I have made 15 Sewcialites blocks since I switched fabrics/colors a month or two ago. I do like this combination of reds, blacks, and tans. I have to say that I am really enjoying the sew along and also the Friday YouTube videos Kimberly of The Fat Quarter Shop puts out each week. They are […]
I had a lot of leftovers from my recent Red Pineapple finish. Normally, I am not one to fret about using up leftover fabric, but I had an idea for what to do with them. I have had foundation paper piecing on my mind lately and purchased a couple of the 6" Log Cabin paper […]
I enjoy starting out the new year with a blue and white project. Typically they are small table toppers. For some reason, I always associate blue and white with the month of January. This year Moda Fabrics is kicking off the first weekend in the new year with a Log Cabin sew-along. There is a […]
Happy New Year friends! I hope you all started the year off healthy and full of hope for a great 2021. My husband and I managed to stay up, or should I say wake up at midnight to give each other a smooch and a Happy New Year wish. There was lots of banging and […]
I had a talk with myself over the weekend and had to admit that I was not loving my Sewcialites Sew-Along quilt blocks. I was using fabric that just wasn't floating my boat. I think I'd like the Betsy Chutchian fabrics I had chosen in smaller bits, but not in the big 9" blocks I […]
You have to admit this is the most perfect mug rug ever. I am just so pleased with this and want to make one for every woman in my life. If you need a cute, last-minute gift for someone, this might do the trick for you too. The pattern is a block from one of […]
I could have sworn I posted Tuesday. But when I got up in the morning to read my comments from you all, there weren't any. What? Well, I hadn't posted anything for anyone to comment on. I am losing it I tell you. Our governor has issued another strict stay at home order for our […]
I always think Square in a Square blocks are one of the most difficult block units to make. There are so many ways to go wrong when attaching the triangles around the sides of the square. And when things go wrong, you have a wonky unit with inadequate seam allowance at your points. I have […]
Goodness, did we ever have a spectacular sunset last night! My husband took this picture and captured all the glory of it. Amazing. So how is your Christmas shopping going? I am finding it really hard to shop for a few people on my gift list because I can't physically go to a shop and […]
